(Cl. 131-10) The main object of this invention is to provide permit the smoke to pass from the cigar received a cigarette or cigar holder which is formed of in the bowl 19 into the mouth through the bore 13 two jointed members, the jointed members being of the stern 10. The cigarette holders illustrated capable of being telescoped to provide an ejector in Figures 2 and 3 have the same identical con- 5 for the stub of the smoked cigar or cigarette. struction as the cigar holder but is of smaller I60 The above and other objects will become appargeneral dimensions suitable for receiving the end ent in the description below in which characters of the cigarette into the cone 26 formed in the of reference refer to like-named parts in the enlarged end of the cigarette holder body 27.

The devices illustrated on the ac- 75 l View of the cigar holder, showing the stem in companying drawing are adapted to eject a cigar ejecting position within the body of the holder, or cigarette stub.
